Ben Folds: Rockin' the Suburbs

if you love Ben Folds and are looking to tackle some of his music this is a great book. The piano parts are pretty accurate to what he plays on the CD and the songs are wonderful.

The book is great -- now I just wish I had 4 other musicians to make it sound more like the CD.

Purchased as a gift...was just what I was looking for. Thank you for quick service.

Folks looking for the same full-instrument transcribed scores as the previous scores Hal Leonard released are going to be a little disappointed. When the previous reviewer says the piano parts get a little sparse, he means it, and unfortunately unlike in the previous books, you can't turn to the lines of other instruments for fill-inspiration. This also means it's a heck-of-a-lot easier to play than the other books (maybe this is a good thing for you?) Still, it's Ben Folds, who pwnz all things piano and the piano ballads (Luckiest, Fred Jones Pt. 2) are sure to please.

Accurate transcription of piano music as played in Rockin the Suburbs CD. Keep in mind that this is not a transcription of a live performance, and so songs such as "Rockin the Suburbs" might be a little sparse on notes since little piano is used on the CD. Songs with less accompanyment by other instruments, such as "The Luckiest" sound more complete when played only with a piano.
